A Portrait Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| LIKE the sway of the silver birch in the breeze of dawn | A |
| Is her dainty way | B |
| Like the gray of a twilight sky or a starlit lawn | A |
| Are her eyes of gray | B |
| Like the clouds in their moving white | C |
| Is her breast's soft stir | D |
| And white as the moon and bright | C |
| Is the soul of her | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Like murmur of woods in spring ere the leaves be green | E |
| Like the voice of a bird | F |
| That sings by a stream that sings through the night unseen | E |
| So her voice is heard | F |
| And the secret her eyes withhold | G |
| In my soul abides | H |
| For white as the moon and cold | G |
| Is the heart she hides | H |
